Study finds that human neuron signals flow in one direction
The measurement process is highly challenging and labor-intensive. Using two devices in parallel allowed the team to study several hundred connections between the nerve cells for each tissue sample.

Movement of molecules across the cell membrane
This does not require a supply of energy because diffusion is a spontaneous process ... pump sodium out of the cells and potassium into the cells. This helps nerve cells to transmit nerve impulses.
